Bricked - Can I save my phone??

Hello
Posted this over in Pauls MoDaCo forum as well but not had any replies yet so thought it best to try here as well.
I've bricked my Desire, phone loads up but the sim and sd card aren't recognised (though I can still use wi fi).
When connecting the phone to my PC (tried windows 7 and XP) the drivers fail to install and I get various faults like the device being recognised as android 1.0 usb to a Qualcomm device.
The phone is still rooted (I can install rooted apps from the market) however after following various unbricking guides I always get stuck at stage 2 (i.e. enable sd card), if the PC won't recognise the device how can i run the 'fastboot oem enableqxdm 0' command?
I've also tried running fastboot using a terminal app on the phone but it doesn't recognise fastboot, should i be in a specific directory on the phone when running this command?
Any help greatly appreciated.
Cheers

Have you tried using a different jab port? I had to use one at the back of my pc front ports wouldn't install drivers properly.

You need to follow the guide on modaco for unbricking your device. You have the usb brick, and it can easilly be fixed.
Follow the steps religiously and you will be up n running in no time again.

I've followed the guide lots of time, it's not that long winded so it shouldn't be to hard to follow.
I get stuck on step two, using the fastboot command.
My PC and also tried laptop (Win XP and 7), different USB ports (front and back) but each time it attempts to load drivers and I end up with it either being recognised as an Android 1.0, Android Bootloader Interface or a Qualcomm device. I then run fastboot, and get the device not recognised error.

I've now tried to connect my phone to a windows Xp and 7 PC and a laptop, a Linux laptop and tried using the Tiny Linux root guide to see if that would work, but each time the PC/laptop fails to recognise the phone so can't get into recovery or run the fastboot command.

You don't need to get into recovery for this.
You have sdk installed, so boot your phone by pressing power while holding down the volume down button.
Use a command prompt on your pc and cd to the tools directory in the sdk. If the sdk is saved to the root of your C: drive on the pc you would type
Code:
cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
When in there type
Code:
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
This will re-enable your sd card and allow you to continue.

That doesnt work, just stops on the waiting for device line and doesnt continue.
Also using the cmd 'adb devices' shows nothing so I'm guessing my phone isn't recognised on my PC. At the moment it's in fastboot usb (on phone) and in devices on the PC I've got Android Bootloader Interface with the yellow problem sign against it.
thanks for your help, it's appreciated, tried a few forums but no one is that interested in helping.

It definitely sounds like the old usb brick problem, so that's a good thing! When you tried the commands were you booted into fastboot? When you connect the phone to the computer does the phone display change from saying fastboot to fastboot usb? I think thats what it should say, can't remember to be honest!
Have you tried another usb port, and a different cable too?
Edit: I'd also try rebooting the computer to ensure any running process etc are closed.

Got it fixed, final throw of the dice this morning I connected the phone to a Vista laptop and it was recognised straight away, so downloaded HTCSync then ADB tools on to the laptop and finally got the re enable command to work.
Jeez that took for ever, strange that Xp, Win7 and Linux PCs couldn't recognise the phone but Vista did.
Still got it sorted, thanks for the help.

No worries. Glad you got it sorted.

I have almost the same problem.
but with the legend.
SD is not recognized.
Can´t Call,
Can´t connect via USB.
Is there something I can do in the built in terminal in the ROM?

[HELP] device not shown in adb

Well my htc wildfire is not shown in the list when i execute the command adb devices, and its not present in the windows device manager. However if i enter recovery and plug the usb in, it recognizes my wildfire as android device- my htc and i can see it in the adb devices. Does anyone know how i can install it properly so i can see it in my adb devices when im not in recovery? I had it working somehow in the past but i formatted my pc and cant do it :S

I had that issue too and created a thread but it solved itself somehow. You should download the Universal ADB driver (you can download them here: http://download.clockworkmod.com/test/UniversalAdbDriverSetup6.msi. And you can also install the PDA Net drivers for the Wildfire.

Thanks for the reply, however i solved it by reflashing the rom in my wildfire. Thanks

[Q] HTC One X Driver for Android 4.2.2

Hi Guys
Do a require a specific driver for the new 4.2.2 system. I have updated my phone to run Cyanogenmod 10.1 and had some issues originally getting adb etc to identify the phone. I have since got past this and now get an unauthorised error in adb. This is normal the issue im having is that my phone does not prompt me when I connect it to my PC. I should be getting a whitelist prompt to confirm I authorise the Pc to run ADB commands.
Has anyone else had this rather than the expected whitelist prompt im getting the little android bloke asking do I want to copy files via usb. Im just trying to work out what I need to do to get my phone to prompt me when I connect via ADB. I have already enabled ROOT access to Apps and ADB, Enabled USB debugging etc
Any help would be appreciated I have tried a number of drivers but only ever get asked to copy file via usb.

Do you have HTC Sync Manager?
Also, in Device manager does your Drivers have Errors (Yellow Triangle)?

Hi Mate
I have tried with HTC Sync on and again after uninstalling it both result in the same issue usb prompt rather than ADB fingerprint prompt. No in Device Manager both of the connections for the device identify and install correctly. One with the phone and another stating something like Android Interface device not on my PC at the mo to confirm the exact name but its something like
My HTC
Android Interface Device or possibly android ADB interface

Hmm Very strange.
Try:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2217396
Or if not try hasoons Root Toolkit, im sure that installs some drivers too. Hasoons got my ADB working.
Finally, to find ADB device, are you opening command prompt in Platform-tools folder?

Nice one cheers mate will try these drivers when I get home later. I was originally using Hasoons toolkit which is what flashed the recovery and new rom but once I updated to 4.2.2 the toolkit stopped. It was coming up as device offline. I have managed to get it working by overwritting the old ADB and fastboot files with the new ones for 4.2.2. The ones the toolkit comes with is 4.1 so was erroring as it didnt know to carry out the fingerprint check.
Yes mate I have tried various methods I have accessed the android\android-sdk\platform-tools folder and run ADB from there this identifies the phone but states its not authorised. I tried using the toolkit with the new ADB and fastboot but get the same.
Im just missing the ADB prompt on my phone for usb debugging just cant for the life of me identify why im getting the copy files from usb prompt rather than the adb fingerprint prompt. Im sure its drivers so am hopeful the ones on the link will fix it. Fingers crossed

I was having issues with adb not finding my device. These drivers worked for me...

Cheers All removed all drivers for htc one x then downloaded the 4.2 versions from the link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2217396
once reinstalled adb gave unauthorised error again but then put the prompt up on the phone. So possible the 4.2 contains the info for requesting permission as i havent changed anything other than the drivers adb and fastboot have been the same since i started. Anyway cheers all

[Q] ADB not recognizing device

I just bought a new computer yesterday, after installing the lightweight adb/fastboot program to my dell inspiron windows 8.1 laptop. I realized when I try to see the devices connected to adb by the command : adb devices, the only that pops up is list of devices attached, but show nothing. Here's the guide I followed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2778239
I'm guessing it has something to do with the drivers.....any help appreciated......
Here's the link I used to installed minimal adb and fastboot http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790

Try uninstalling HTC Sync and any HTC drivers, then try to re-install, and see if that helps.
If no, uninstall any HTC software and drivers. Connect phone, go to Device Manager, and see if the device shows up. If so, select the option to manually select drivers (ignore any prompts to automatically install HTC Sync, etc.) and pick the Generic Android MTP drivers.
See if that works, although Win 8.1 has been known to be more problematic connecting to this device than previous Win builds.

Well I finally got it to work..I never installed the HTC sync software. I found a good link of compatible drivers for my 8.1. I didn't realize the phone had to be in bootloader mode to use fastboot commands though. That's a new thing forbme. If I remember correctly, I could use fastboot commands while the android was in its GUI/ROM format...

I've already switched cid yo gpe cod, but I'm probably going yo switch to dev edition

Fastboot commands only work in fastboot mode. Its always been this way.
adb commands work in the OS or recovery, but not in bootloader or fastboot.

For some reason I was thinking the opposite...god, I'm retarded. I went ahead,and downloaded the entire SDK anyhow. Everything's up to speed

[Q] Wiped Galaxy Nexus, only has TWRP, no show in adb Windows or Linux

I have a wiped Verizon Samsung Galaxy Nexus with only TWRP 2.4.3.0 installed. No rom installed. /data/ and /sdcard/ are wiped clean. All I can do on the phone is boot into TWRP and use any features within, such as ADB sideload/Wipe/Install etc.
I want to install a rom, but the phone is not recognized by any Windows computer. Maybe Windows doesn't recognize romless phones that are booted into TWRP? I have read all the stickies and read/watched tons of tutorials. I tried installing the Samsung drivers for the phone, google usb drivers, universal adb drivers, and other options, but the phone never shows up anywhere in Device Manager or Devices and Printers no matter what I try. Therefore, adb also doesn't see any attached devices.
Since I couldn't get Windows to see a phone at all, and to eliminate the possibility of windows driver issues, I also tried on Linux, but it does not show up as an attached USB device when I do lsusb. Also does not show up when I do fastboot devices or adb devices.
Is the phone totally bricked or is there some other way to get Windows or Linux to see the phone as a USB device?
Thanks in advance for any help!
